" And then what happened teacher? " A sweet little girl asked, desperately wanting to know the end to the story.

The man smiled. Long auburn hair twisted down his right shoulder to a long braid. A few shorter braids intermingled with the braid. Short well kept braids swayed to one side of his face. Vibrant green eyes gleaming of life behind narrow, nerdy, black glass frames. Just as the children around him, listening to his tale adults called myths. Dressed in a green long sleeve wool sweater under the sweater a blue flannel collar popped out, black jeans, and brown loafers.

" Hiccup left Berk as the people requested, and his mother took over as Chief. " The man answered.

The children booed at the ending " He did everything for them! " One cried out.

" How could they turn their backs on him?! " Another one added.

" Meanies. " More agreed with the other two.

The man smile softened " You forget back then magic was feared, and considered evil. "

" B-But. " They protested, pouting.

" It's not fair..... " One sniffled.

" Hey now.... He lived a good life with his brother. " The man spoke, soothing the little one.

" Teacher, what happened to Hiccup? " A boy asked.

" Who knows, some say his spirit protects Berk to this day. " The man replied, unsure. " Others think he traveled around the world, but always returned to Berk when they needed him most. "

" He's like an garden angel! "

The man chuckled " Garden angel you say~ " He teased.

" Teacher is this really true? " Another girl asked, unsure. " Mama says dragons belong in fairy tales. "

" You believe in anything you wish. " The man spoke sternly. " It is up to you to believe dragons once came here. " The girl breamed to his words. " What do you think about the dragons? "

" They're real! " She boosted with pride.

The man's green eyes shined brightly to her calm. " Just remember, whether they be scaly or swishy. " He pause, tickling one of the children. " Everything can be a friend if your really to reach out and push away the differences. "

" Just like Hiccup and Toothless! " The children cheered.

Their teacher smiled to their cheerfulness" Yes, just like the boy that risked it all for his beloved friend. "

" There brothers! " They corrected him, giggling.

" Yes, how could I forget. " He chuckled, hearing a soft toon play over the loudspeaker. " Alright, everything outside to play. " They whined wanting to hear more, and the man smiled " We will continue after the little brake, after all we are here until your parent come pick you up. " He stated, they cheered rushing outside to play with their friends. Getting a good stretch of their legs.

" Do they ever get tired of that story? " Another male mocked, leaning against the door frame.

The other smiled turning to the children " Nope. Who wouldn't love a fishbone befriending a dragon? "

The other chuckled, showing off a fanged smile. His hair was black, short and puffed out in certain place. His eyes a dangerously bright turquoise with more green in them instead of blue. The eyes themselves seemed almost cat like. His skin was well tanned and black freckles covered the man's body. He wore a black long sleeve sweater, grey pants, and a pair of black slip-on's.
